Curse Returns: What did the human-shaped wishing machine do wrong this time?

"What's going on? They lost a top-grade cursed artifact and instead of looking for it, they're sending us on a mission to protect some kind of asteroid?"

In the classroom of the vocational college, a young man with silver-white hair rested his chin on his hand, pursed his lips, and reluctantly dragged out his words.

"Wu, you can't say that. The Star Magma Body is still very important for maintaining Lord Tianyuan's stability."

Xia Youjie let out a long sigh.

He verbally refuted Gojo Satoru's statement, but deep down he was conflicted.

He and Wucai discovered in Sendai that the entire Itadori family had disappeared. Before they even returned to the high school, they were told that not only had the child disappeared that day, but the top-grade cursed artifact, the Nine Phases of the Cursed Embryo, in the high school's forbidden storehouse had also vanished.

The location of Gaozhuan's forbidden storehouse is very close to the entrance of Lord Tianyuan's Death Star Palace, which is impossible in the eyes of everyone at Gaozhuan!

During a meeting of sorcerers at the High Commissioner's Office, news came from the Director-General's Office that Lord Tengen had personally assigned him and Satoru the task of protecting the stellar plasma.

Even Xia Youjie felt that this was a dilemma.

If that child is left outside the college, who knows when another group of ordinary people will be implicated and killed by being twisted into ropes? And then there's the matter of the special-grade cursed artifact; that person stole that kind of cursed artifact definitely to make them suffer.

If something happens, it will be much harder for them to fight for the child's ownership from the supervisory department.

However, Lord Tengen is the cornerstone of the entire Neon Barrier. Lord Tengen's assimilation day is in two days. This is a date that has always been set and will not be changed for any other reason.

Xia Youjie sighed again, feeling that things were really too unfortunate.

"The location of the asteroid has been leaked, and there's nothing we can do about it. Lord Tianyuan has specifically assigned the two of you to carry out this mission."

With a serious expression, Moth Zhengdao turned his laptop over and explained to the two students the curse master group Q and the Panxing Cult composed of ordinary people that they would be facing in this mission.

"Maybe someone leaked it."

Upon hearing Masamichi Nobi mention that the location of the asteroid body had been leaked, Satoru Gojo couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Normally, the assimilation of stellar matter by Tianyuan is under the strict supervision of the upper management of the General Headquarters. Stellar matter, being a special entity, has been under the protection of the General Headquarters since childhood. How could it be such a coincidence that it was leaked at such a special moment?

Gojo Satoru seriously suspected that the supervisory department was planning to transfer them away so they could arrest that child themselves.

However, he then thought of the white-haired curse master's strength, and those rotten oranges in the supervisory department.

It wasn't that he looked down on those people; it was just that they were too weak.

"Let's go, Wu. Let's head to the location of the Star Magma first, and we can talk about the child in two days."

Xia Youjie could only pray that nothing else would happen in the next two days. In his opinion, the Curse Master Q and the Panxing Cult were not nearly as destructive as Alluka.

Let's go!

Gojo Satoru kicked the desk in front of him and stood up with a relaxed expression.

*

Unlike Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Suguru, who handled things with ease.

These past two days, Fuhe Shen'er has been harassed by his partner, Kong Shiyu.

The Panxing Sect had raised the commission fee to 200 million yuan in order to get him to take action, but no matter how much Kong Shiyu pleaded, Fu Heishen'er remained listless and refused to accept the mission.

A few hundred million is nothing to him now.

Fu Heishen couldn't take all of the 500 billion with him back then; he filled Chou Bao's belly to the brim. He hadn't counted the exact amount, but it was definitely more than just a few billion.

Because of the existence of his cursed wife, Fuhei Shen'er no longer wanted to gamble; he had more money than he could ever spend.

What he wants most right now is to help his wife regain her senses, but he knows that will be difficult.

He had a vague suspicion that his wife might be cursed by the spirit attached to that child.

When a person dies and becomes a curse, it is difficult for them to retain their rationality from when they were alive. Fuheshel is now experiencing both pain and pleasure.

He was unwilling to take on the mission, but the other curse masters were very willing to accept such a large bounty.

However, none of those people were Lu Suo's target.

Because Heaven and Curse are devoid of curse power, they exist outside the cycle of cause and effect.

The three entities—Tianyuan, Xingjiangti, and Liuyan—have a unique causal relationship.

Whenever the Celestial Origin needs assimilation, the accompanying Six-Eyed and Astral Bodies are born.

When Tengen was turned into that monstrous form by Alluka and needed the Star Essence to refresh his body, Ryosaku tried to kill several Six-Eyed and Star Essence beings. However, no matter how many he killed, new Six-Eyed and Star Essence beings were still born on the day of assimilation.

When he learned of the existence of Fuheshir, the being of Heaven and Curse, Rōsō had a strong premonition that the other party could sever the causal relationship between Tengen and the Six-Eyed One. However, Fuheshir refused to accept the mission because of Alluka.

Lu Suo suppressed the urge to yell at Rimei.

If it weren't for Rime and Alluka causing trouble, given Fuhesh's personality, he would definitely have accepted the mission to kill the Starmash.

However, Rime still doesn't know that Tengen is the culprit who killed Alluka, and Ryosaku is afraid that Alluka and Nanika will remember what happened back then, so he doesn't dare to approach them.

Besides Fuhesh, Alluka should also be considered one of the Heavenly Curses, but neither of them can be used by him at present.

So, this could be considered a cause-and-effect relationship.

However, Lu Suo did not intend to let Tian Yuan's assimilation succeed this time, because both Alluka's rebirth and the appearance of the Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique told him that this was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.

Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Jie took the openly known Starmaw body, Tennoriko, on a tour of Okinawa, killing several curse masters who had rushed in after accepting bounty missions from the Starmaw Cult.

When they returned to the college, Xia Youjie wanted Gojo Satoru, who had been driving at his limitless speed and had reached his limit, to go back and rest first. However, Gojo Satoru shook his head and said that it wouldn't make a difference if he drove for a little longer.

At the entrance to the Star Palace, Xia Youjie whispered to Tian Lizi, the Stardust Body:

"Before I met you, Satoru and I had already discussed it... So, let's go home, Riko."

The so-called Tengen assimilation was merely a temporary peace achieved by erasing the life of another girl, and neither Gojo Satoru nor Natsuyuki wanted to see such an outcome.

They wouldn't be afraid even if they went to war with Lord Tianyuan.

Because they are the strongest.

only……

When they walked out of the main hall of the Hōsei Palace, the original guards were no longer there.

Just as they were relaxing and about to get into the car for the assistant supervisor, Riko collapsed right in front of them.

"I'm so sorry, this is my task."

The night, like a heavy curtain, stretched out and obscured the upper half of the assistant supervisor's face, shrouding him entirely in shadow.

In the sweltering heat, there wasn't even a breath of wind.

Looking at Riko's corpse, Natsumi Yukichi's mind went blank, and he remained silent, unable to utter a single word.
